You’re all gasping in shock. How dare I? I’m still beating myself with my Mom cane. But before you judge too harshly, listen to the facts.1. I bought it online. So I wouldn’t find other stuff for me in the store. And also because the store in question has ABSOLUTELY NO PARKING at this time of year. I learned that the hard way last week.2. It was on sale.
